200 if the options are exercised. This will be by far the largest fleet at Delta. Get comfortable with the idea that Europe is only an 8 hour narrow-body ride away. And I thought the 757 was bad on transatlantic flights.
Well now you know why wide-body block hours are set at the floor and not a ratio.
Bring on the rest facility grievance now, so we can get this over with.
Maybe we can get a lower lobe hidey-hole. Hope you French speakers aren't claustrophobic.

Other than all the other sections of scope....
My point is our widebody hours can't be robbed by A321 transatlantic hours. Do you understand the threat that would have existed without the protections of the block hour floor?

From: Cockpit speaker volume knob set to eleven.
They should be 10 years old by then....with that good used car smell.

Do you understand the Macro trends across the Atlantic that will reduce those hours to the floor. Hopefully not below, like the AF/KLM EASKs that required a rewrite.

In service today we have 150 WBs. We have 42 330s, and we're supposed to get a total of 67. 330s+350s=92. 21 764s, 18 777s. 189 Widebodies including 763ER (58) which might be out in the next half a decade, which would leave us at 131.
